Blue and Purple Birthday

Hey Guys,   I am so sorry that I've been away for so long.  I have been creating up a storm, but apparently I have been neglecting to post my cards here.  

I wanted to share with you this card that I created for a card order that I am working my way through.  The order has a TON of Birthday cards in it...some are specific for 30th Birthdays, while others are generic Birthdays.  

I wanted to work on using up some scraps from my stash so I thought that I would work with the scraps left from my sister's Baby Shower Invitations from almost a year ago.  I loved working with these papers for the invites, and I very much enjoyed working with them again for these Birthday Cards.  As many of you know I just LOVE playing with Stamping Bella stamps!  They make my heart happy, they are so stink'en cute, and I thought that this would be perfect for a card for this order.

Here's the front of the card...

Here's the side of the card...
